The sounds of the Seventies… music of the likes of Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, the Byrds. Numerous tribute bands will perform for yet another free SAM outdoor concert, this time in the East Village Arts District (First Street at Elm) 5-9 pm.
Show up on your bicycle, because Long Beach Cyclists will offer free bike valet service.
The list of musicians is lonnnnnnnng! Click SAM to see who will perform. And, hey!, on the list, we find Jenny Stockdale’s name! Which, for us at Long Beach Cyclists, means a neat music event will be even greater!
(We know Jenny as a great friend, as a lover of cycling, as a talented musician, and as a skilled writer. AÂ teensy bit of our bias may also be due to the fact that she is a member of Long Beach Cyclists.)
Hint to up-and-coming musicians, future candidates for the presidency of the United States, and others who love cycling: Join Long Beach Cyclists! Small print: No guarantee that you’ll ever see your name in the lights… but if you join LBC, we’ll love you plenty!

Evening fun… and you can get there on your bicycle! Cycle to the free LB CYCLISTS bike valet at Aquarium of the Pacific.

As you wander the aquarium, you also can watch artist John Culqui paint before your eyes—perhaps even win one of us works—and you can enjoy other artwork created by local artists.
Friday evening, June 25th, the aquarium will be busy with life on both sides of the glass.
Free to Aquarium of the Pacific members, or $11.95 on line or at the door. Bike valet service starts at 6:30 pm.
For more information, go to the Aquarium of the Pacific web site.
By the way, not a single one of the 11,000 animals that call the aquarium ‘home’ rides a bicycle; none of the underwater life will be able to take advantage of the free bike valet service provided by Long Beach Cyclists volunteers. We would be more than happy to provide a nice service for aquarium residents if we could.

Join the celebration. The Green Long Beach Festival 2010 is about green events, green resources and green discussions. The East Village Arts District, one full day, 10:00 am to 10:00 pm.
There will be live entertainment, solar-powered stages, a green fashion show, educational workshops, food, eco-friendly booths, art, the community garden, an opportunity to see electric vehicles, and the Saturday morning organic farmers market on First at Linden.
Events take place in the East Village—in lots adjacent to the old Acres of Books (Long Beach Blvd. between Broadway and Third), also at East Village Arts Park (Elm near Broadway), and along First between Elm and Linden).
Long Beach Cyclists will provide free bike valet near the old Acres of Books building between 10:00 am and 5:30 pm—happily monitoring your bicycle during those hours. Or… you may chose to show up on foot, or… you may get to the Green Long Beach Festival by taking any bus heading downtown, or… by traveling on the southbound Metro Blue Line.
Car parking near the old Acres of Books lot will be available as well… although some of us who live ‘car free’ secretly might rather see the parking lot for cars nearly empty. Let’s hope that many folks arrive in car pools, and that zillions of folks enjoy the free bike valet.Â
